Calendar: Flaco at Main Plaza, Fluffy at the Majestic, Mardi Gras parade and tons more

 For the second year in a row, accordion legend Flaco Jimenez y su conjunto plays a Valentine’s Day concert at Main Plaza, but remember, the show is on Saturday. Flaco will be joined by bajo sexto ace Max Baca, fresh off a Grammy win, along with the rest of Los Texmaniacs, for best Tejano album. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. and is free. Read Latin Notes for more.

 Paseo del Rio’s Mardi Gras river parade is Saturday from 4-6 p.m. The after party is at (where else?) Pat O’Brien’s. Accompanying the parade is an arts and crafts fair held on the River Walk extension (next to the Chamber of Commerce) Friday-Sunday.

 The very funny (and “Fluffy”) Gabriel Iglesias gets the Magestic Theatre marquee on Sunday with two sold-out shows. Read the story.

 It’s Battle of the Alamo reenactment season. But first is the re-creation of the surrender of all Texas forts under Gen. David E. Twiggs to Col. Ben McCulloch of the Texas Militia in 1861. Read about last year’s recreation.

 Several notable exhibits are ending soon, including Carmen Oliver Series at the Institute of Texan Cultures (ends Feb. 20), Jesse Treviño’s exhibit at the Museo Alameda (ends Feb. 28) and David Halliday’s exhibit at SAMA (ends Feb. 21). “Flashbacks,” earlier works by Vincent Valdez, opens at the Southwest School of Art & Craft tonight. See our museum listings for more options.

That’s all of that. As always, these listings are the work of one Weekender calendar demigod Stefanie Arias, “Percy Arias & The Weekender-ians: The Stefanie Thief.”
